Gifted with strong legs and generalized bills, babblers spend a lot of time hoping on the ground or in under growth. Most of the species are sedentary and have a weak flight to their short wings. The striated babbler is overall streaked dusky looking babbler has brownish upper parts with heavy black streak on crown and mantle and fine streaking on throat and breast.
